What if I smell gas?

Leave immediately, avoid sparks, and call 911 or your gas utility. Do not use our form to report a leak.

Should I unplug appliances before a hurricane?

Unplugging sensitive electronics and small appliances, or switching off the breakers for hardwired appliances, helps protect them from power surges when the power fails or is restored. Never touch plugs, cords, or breakers while standing in water. Our hurricane appliance preparation checklist has the full list.

Can I use an appliance that got wet or flooded?

Do not operate an appliance that was submerged or got wet inside, and do not touch it while standing in water. Have it inspected first, and have a licensed professional check any gas appliance before it is used again. See our after-the-storm guidance.

How long does food stay safe in a refrigerator without power?

Food safety agencies such as the USDA say refrigerated food is generally safe for about four hours if the door stays closed, and a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours (about 24 if half full). When in doubt, check with a food thermometer and follow current USDA guidance. More tips are on our hurricane appliance preparation page.
